Main Board

MPC8241 : Integrated Host Processor

The MPC8241 Integrated Host Processor fits applications where cost, space, power consumption and performance are critical requirements. This device provides a high level of integration, reducing chip count from five discrete chips to one, thereby significantly reducing system component cost. High integration results in a simplified board design, less power consumption and a faster-time-to-market solution. This cost-effective, general purpose integrated processor targets systems using PCI interfaces in networking infrastructure, telecommunications, and other embedded markets. It can be used for control processing in applications such as routers, switches, network storage applications and image display systems.

Power Supply

25W Univive Co., Ltd. "open frame" dual voltage power supply, from the UOP25D/325D series ([1], [2]). The power supply is actually a "brick" power supply without the usual plastic case. The UOP25D/325D series comes in different variations. The differences are the input voltage ranges, and the maximum output current and output voltage stability. 5V ±5%, 0.1A - 2A and 12V ±6%, 0.1A - 1.5A are typical output values.

Crossover switch

The powerpc-hdhlan LinkStation can also be identified by the presence of a crossover switch located at the rear of the unit; the mipsel-hdhlan and powerpc-hdhglan LinkStations do not have a crossover switch as they are auto-switching.
